The Girl We Chased Together (8)

What he didn't want initially, nobody else could swallow what he didn't want. He wanted the other person who got it to feel worse than himself. Otherwise, how could he vent his anger in his heart?

Only then did Sheng Shi feel a little better. He picked up the Blue Mountain coffee on the table and his gaze paused for a moment. Then, he turned his head to look at the bustling scenery outside the window. His eyes flickered brightly. After a long time, he said unexpectedly, "Hua Zi… didn't you say that I'm ambitious about earning money?"

"Actually, no. I have no ambition to make money. It's just that many offered their businesses to me."

"If I have ambitions for something in this world, there's only one…"

"It's her… Gu Lanshan."

She was his ambition.

Just as Liu Zhiqiang had said, Gu Lanshan was once a goddess in everyone's eyes. Ninety percent of the boys in the school were eager to woo her. She was the "girl we chased together all those years ago" in the hearts of the teenagers in their school.

But this "girl we chased together all those years" eventually became his wife.

Those who knew she was his wife all said the same thing—Sheng Shi did not treat Gu Lanshan like this in the past… How did he treat her in the past?

But how would they know… she was not like this in the past…

What was she like in the past?

Sheng Shi slowly closed his eyes, and the image of her in the past immediately appeared in his mind.

She was beautiful, arrogant, and unreasonable. She stood there arrogantly, as imposing as she could be!

Although Su Jiaojiao was being treated unpleasantly by Sheng Shi, she could not bear to cut ties with him.

That night, she even called him and said a bunch of nice things in a sweet and gentle voice.

That night, Su Jiaojiao tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. The name Gu Lanshan kept appearing in her mind. In the past, she had always wanted to find an opportunity to meet Gu Lanshan, but she had never had it. However, today, she met someone who knew Gu Lanshan— Liu Zhiqiang. Hence, after some thought, Su Jiaojiao finally called Liu Zhiqiang.

The next afternoon, Liu Zhiqiang texted her back. It was a phone number with Gu Lanshan's name.

Su Jiaojiao got Gu Lanshan's phone number and was even more excited compared to winning five million yuan.

Perhaps all mistresses were this way. They wanted to see what the woman looked like —she who had snatched the man away!

If the woman was prettier, she could proudly think, "What's the use of having good looks? Your man would still be snatched away by me?"

If the woman was uglier, she could continue to smugly think. Men were the same indeed. They forgot their roots when they saw beauty!

Hence, Su Jiaojiao specially chose a relatively free night to sit in front of the bay window of her luxurious apartment. She held her phone and called Gu Lanshan.

…

Sheng Shi did not go home again tonight.

Gu Lanshan was in the bedroom, organizing the press release.

Suddenly, a melodious ringtone sounded. Gu Lanshan reached out and picked up the phone. Seeing that it was an unknown number, she paused for a moment before answering. "Hello, Gu Lanshan."
